World is going to salute Aryabhatt on July 22, 2009 at Taregna. Question is how we saluted and how we should salute Aryabhatt?
Indira Gandhi Planetarium was inaugurated in early 1990's by then Chief Minister Lalu Yadav. Was Indira Gandhi a great leader or great astronomic personality than Aryabhatt?
Taregna village of the subdivision of Patna relates to Aryabhatt. A tight security cover is in place in this small Bihar village in view of a strike called by Maoists when there would be world’s scientists gathering on July 22, 09.
How many memorials are in the name of Nehru Gandhis?
Rahul: Only place for Maya statues in UP? Really spreading of Maya’s statues is unpleasant precedent. How many places are in the name of Nehru Gandhis in Bihar and in whole India?
This should be asked to Gandhis’ government under Right to Information Act. White paper should be published by the present Bihar and Central Government of India.
In Patna you may find Sanjay Gandhi Botanical and Zoological Garden, Gandhi Maidan, Congress maidan and other places but none in the name of Aryabhatt.
Guru Gobind Singh (22 December 1666 – 7 October 1708),the tenth Guru of the Sikhs was born as Gobind Rai in Patna to Teg Bahadur, the ninth Guru of the Sikhs, and his wife Gujri. His birth place Harmandir saheb is a one of most sacred pilgrimage for Sikhs. Names of Bombay, Calcutta, Madras etc could be changed but not Patna. Why it should not be renamed Guru Gobind nagar/ Buddha nagar/ Aryabhattnagar? Why not kalgidhar Setu instead of Rajiv Gandhi Setu?
Aryabhatta (476-550 A.D.) was born in Patliputra in Magadha, modern Patna in Bihar. Some argued he was born in Keral of South India. What did Keral South India to keep the glory of Aryabhatt?
Aryabhatt lived in Kusumapura, which his commentator Bhāskara I (AD 629) identifies as Pataliputra (modern Patna). Available evidence suggests that he went to Kusumapura for higher studies. He lived in Kusumapura that he lived in Patliputra (Presently Patna) where he wrote his famous treatise the “Aryabhatta-siddhanta” but more famously the “Aryabhatiya”, the only work to have survived.
Indian legendary mathematician, Hindu priest Arya Bhatt, invented the concept of “zero" in mathematics and astronomy. The knowledge of "zero" has ultimately helped the U.S.A. in developing computer and digital technology. World saluted on June 5, 09 Rajeev Motwani, India-born Stanford professor and the mentor and adviser of founders of top internet firms like Google and PayPal, on his accidental sudden death.
In ancient times Magadh (Partliputra, presently Patna) established a democratic kingdom, first of its kind in the world. That was the first democratically chosen Government in the world. Now who learns democracy from Italy born Gandhis?
Who wants to keep the glory of ancient India?
Sasaram is nearer to Taregna. It was represented by Jagjivanram and his daughter Meera Kumar. What they did for the progress of dalits and Sasaram or Taregna? Conress and Lalu have celebrated their half century rule of Bihar, but what they did to keep the glory of ancient India?
Chidambaram, gay culture fame is a treasure of changing novel ideas.
Former Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Aug 26, 07 in Lucknow said the books that propounded the glorious past of India were liable to be burnt.
Aryabhatta's methods of astronomical calculations expounded in his Aryabhatta-Siddhatha were reliable for practical purposes of fixing the Panchanga (Hindu calendar). Thus in ancient India, eclipses were also forecast and their true nature was perceived at least by the astronomers.
The last statement is suggestive of the sun being recognized as the centre of the universe (solar system). The idea that the sun was looked upon as the power that attracts heavenly bodies is supported by the virile terms like Raghupati and Aditya used in referring to the sun.
Thus we can see that what ancient Indian astronomers say comes close to the heliocentric theory of gravitation, which was a thousand years later articulated by Copernicus and Galileo inviting severe reactions from the clergy in Rome.
